Par GRIFFIN MICHAEL. When it comes to musical skill, why is it that some people achieve so much more than others? We are frequently led to believe this is because of a talent hardwired into their DNA. Now, music educator Michael Griffin dismisses that age-old notion in favour of another known factor: practice. His new book, Learning Strategies for Musical Success illustrates how the quantity and quality of practice is the greatest predictor of musical success so that aspiring musicians of all ages and abilities can best bring about expert performance. This inspiring, accessible guide will equip students, teachers, adult learners, and parents with the methods and mindset to improve the likelihood of learning music successfully. 'Deeply impressive - the breadth of research is fascinating!' - Victorian Music Teachers Association 'Terrific...eminently practical...excellent discussion...I came away inspired and excited.' - The Music Trust, Australia 'This book really does deliver' - American Music Teacher 'I can't think of any other book that draws on so many resources to create a new understanding of learning music. Every serious music student, music teacher, and parent of a music student will find important information in this book. Griffin gives clear examples of how concepts are applied that make for enjoyable reading. This book has a potential for making lifelong differences in the lives of music students, parents and teachers.” - Roy Ernst, PhD, LLD Professor Emeritus, Eastman School of Music of The University of Rochester 'A must buy for every music teacher and music student. Bravo on a most stimulating read. This draws together old wisdom and the latest research. I am re-reading this excellent book for the third time, highlighter pen in hand.' 5 stars (Amazon Rank) - William Bruce, Guildhall UK. 'A most stimulating read that has given me a great deal to think about.' - Nicholas Carpenter, Prebendal, UK. 'Fantastic book...simply brilliant!' - Ian Cooper, Norfolk Music Service, UK. 'A must read for all music educators. Michael Griffin has collected lessons from his own experience - which is extensive, and pertinent, recent research to provide a detailed overview of how we learn, and how students can be empowered and trained to become effective, efficient and independent learners. The book is well documented, making it convenient to go on to further reading about the topics of each chapter. The language is concise and easily understood, yet deeply practical and useful.' - 5 stars Robert Adams, Music Educator, New Haven, USA.

Par USHER ALEX. Children's Song Favorites is a collection of 75 songs for children of all ages, most of them from the folk tradition. They have been collected over more than fifty years by a professional folk singer, who is also a mother and grandmother. Each song has the melody line, complete lyrics and suggested accompaniment chords for guitar or other instrument. Many of them are unusualand#151 - for example, all 13 verses of 'The Three Blind Mice,' 'Hail to Britannia' (a British nursery rhyme song), and for older children, 'Chopo, My Pony' (a cowboy song), 'Old Thompson's Mule' (of minstrel origin) and 'The Housewife's Lament.' Audience requests have persuaded the author to include two pieces she has writtenand#151 - 'The Doll Song' and 'The Solution to Pollution.' More than three-quarters of the songs involve audience participation, making this an ideal repertory resource for teachers and youth leaders. A few descriptive sentences, sometimes with suggestions for creative activity, precede each song. The songs are arranged alphabetically, and an extra table of contents lists the songs by categories: animals, cowboys and the West, creative activity, dance tunes, history, holidays, quiet time, and teaching. Although this book was designed primarily for children, the author regularly uses many of these songs with grown-up audiences. / Niveau : Débutant / Children's - Songbooks / Recueil / Tout Instrument

A Practical Guide For Today'S Musicians. Par PERLOWIN MICHAEL. Dans ce livre, Mike Perlowin combine l'expérience pratique d'être un musicien de travail dans les domaines de rock, blues, country, RandB, reggae, et de bluegrass avec les connaissances théoriques d'une formation universitaire d'expliquer la théorie de la musique en termes que tout accompli modérément musicien peut comprendre. En commençant par la plus élémentaire des leçons, Perlowin claire et concise explique les relations tonales entre notes et comment ils forment des différents types de balances et cordes. Au lieu d'utiliser des exemples tirés de la musique classique peu familier, ce livre utilise des airs connus comme Marie a un petit agneau ou Silent Night pour illustrer les principes théoriques. Plutôt que d'offrir des renseignements sur la façon de jouer d'un instrument spécifique, cet ouvrage est conçu pour les personnes qui ont déjà jouent avec compétence, mais ne comprennent pas les principes théoriques sous-jacents de la musique. Bien que le livre est relativement court, il contient l'équivalent d'une année de matériel de niveau collège, tous accessibles aux moyennes mus... / Niveau : Débutant / All Styles - Theory and Harmony / Théorie / Tout Instrument

A variety of combinations of instruments can play trios with these books. With the exception of the basses, any three like-instruments such as three flutes, three clarinets, three cornets, three trombones, three bassoons, and so on can play together in three-part harmony. Numerous mixed-instruments such as violin, trumpet, and tuba also may perform all of the trios in these books. Basses must play the bottom line only, but the music is arranged so that they have the melody from time to time. Any number of instrumentalists may play together in three-part harmony. Thus, directors can rehearse the music with large ensembles and assign trios of players or groups of players to practice and perform together. / Tout Instrument
